My working theory is that there is a current detector in that power supply/injector, and the RF was fooling the comparator into “thinking” the radio was drawing too much current, causing the supply to crowbar. Derek observed the power supply coming on and producing full voltage, then shutting down, then powering up, then shutting down, ad nauseam. The crowbar would clear when the voltage went to zero and the supply would come back on… until it crowbarred again. As soon as we would switch to the ND mode on the other tower, the power supply would stay on and the radio would reboot. So… we pulled out the Cambium supply/PoE injector and Derek hauled up an Omrin DIN-rail 48-volt supply and installed that, powering the radio directly. That worked. With RF on the tower, we had good throughput with no further issues. In the process of installing the KLZ and KLTT Cambium equipment, we had a couple of occasions when parts were needed at the top of a tower and it would be a long climb down and back up. It occurred to me that we might be able to deliver the needed parts with our drone, so I rigged a 12-foot piece of nylon strap and up it went. At KLZ, I rigged a slip-knot through a Ziplock bag with the parts One of the new Cambium PTP820S 11 GHz radios inside. That worked great. installed on the back of a pre-owned antenna on the KLZ west tower. It was a very, very long day, but by twilight that evening, we had the antennas changed out, the new radios in and radiating, and the path aligned. The link was passing data at the rate we expected, so we were about to call it a success. And then, as soon as the climber was off the west tower at KLZ, we switched back to the DA mode, and as soon as we did, the link died. As in dead. As in can’t even ping the radio on the tower. And no signal received at the other end. It didn’t take long to figure out that the 2 kW of 560 kHz RF in that west tower was somehow killing the radio. The question was, what could we do about it. We scheduled our friend and engineer- The tower worker reaches out and takes hold of climber Derek Jackson to go up the tower to look the cable clamp that Jordon flew up to him with things over. our drone.

As such, we have great interest in the Commission’s efforts to eliminate the main studio rule, and we applaud the Commission’s efforts in this matter. We tender the following comments in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. A. A Local Main Studio is Unnecessary for the Public to Participate in Programming Many of Crawford’s stations program “God and Country” formats consisting of either religious talk, political talk or a combination of the two. These stations feature live talk including on-air guests and callers. As such, our stations are often plugged into the local community much more than stations programming music and other entertainment formats. Voices of individuals from our communities are heard on many of our stations on a daily basis. It has been our experience in recent years that it is seldom necessary for people to come to our studios in order to participate in our programming. Just about anyone can call in by telephone and gain access, and others make use of audio-over-IP codecs and other devices to convey programming from their locations to our studios. Even some of our on-air hosts do not come into our studios daily but rather do their live shows from their homes using such codecs and other devices.

  • Bishop George R. Evans 1922-1985
    “Servant of God and Man” is the motto Auxiliary Bishop George R. Evans chose to have affixed to his coat o f arms when he was elevated to the episcopacy of the Church on April 23, 1969, by Pope Paul VI. Fidelity to his chosen guiding principle earned for him the reputa­ tion as a “social action bishop.” A sensitive and caring man, he was always reticent about himself, preferring instead to praise the people with whom he worked. His deep concern for social justice issues came about in his first year as a bishop. Only seven months after his consecration as a bishop, he preached a sermon defending social activism and Church reform touched off by the modernization efforts o f the Second Vatican Council. Thereafter, he took highly public stands on the needs o f the poor, on housing issues, on women’s rights, on pro-life and the issue o f nuclear war. He spoke out against the M X missile, saying it went beyond any just defense.
